Subroutines

If you require the same machining steps in the programming of different workpieces, you can

define these machining steps in a separate subprogram. You can then call this subprogram

in any program.

Identical machining steps therefore only have to be programmed once.

ShopTurn does not differentiate between main program and subprograms. This means that

you can call a "standard" machining step or G code program in another machining step

program as subprogram. In the subprogram, you can also call another subprogram. The

maximum nesting depth is 8 subprograms.

You cannot insert subprograms in linked blocks.

If you want to call a machining step program as subprogram, the program must already have

been calculated once (load or simulate program in the "Machine Auto" mode). This is not

necessary for G code subprograms.
